Description

3/4 length, but 4/4 performance.

Pearl Izumi's P.R.O. Escape Thermal 3/4 Bib Tight have your knees covered during mixed conditions, keeping you comfortable even if it's a little too cool to go bare but not quite cold enough for full-blown winter tights. These 3/4 length bib tights feature a 19" inseam and are lined with brushed-face Thermal Fleece fabric for excellent insulation without unnecessary bulk. The outer face of the P.R.O. Escape Thermal knickers feature Pearl's PI Dry™ technology, providing a layer of water-shedding confidence during unexpected showers. Pearl Izumi's high-end P.R.O. Escape 1:1™ chamois gives you the utmost support and comfort possible, featuring a floating top sheet that moves with you through the entirety of your pedal stroke. The upper features a Direct-Vent construction for the straps, utilizing raw edge construction for the leg openings and bib uppers, providing a clean and comfortable transition between the fabric and the body.

This must be Pearl Izumis lower-end chamois, because it is bulky and uncomfortable compared to every other pair of PI bibs I own. The bibs themselves are nicely made and do keep my knees and thighs warm on chilly or damp days.

I am a big fan of knickers. Rarely if ever do I wear a full tight, as the shins are not that sensitive to cold. And if it's that cold that I am worrying about cold shins, well, I'm headed to the gym instead of outdoors! Having said that, I am also a big fan of PI, particularly their various bottoms. These particular knicks have modest loft, a great chamois, and the best leg grippers I have experienced yet. Hopefully they will also prove durable, as have most of my other PI pieces.
